I wish reminder alerts were triggered at the correct time or as soon as my Mac wakes from sleep, not hours later or even on the next day.

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
What kind of issues do you have with Preview viewing PDF's? I'll admit I do need to use Acrobat to fill out most forms that Preview seems to choke on.
At 100% zoom level, the type is not rendered with crisp edges. It looks as if someone had applied a mild gaussian blur. Only once you zoom in, the outlines are sharp as they should be. I have this issue on a 2012 and 2015 MBP as well as on a MP 5.1. With the built in screens, Eizos and a NEC SV. The only thing thats common across all builds is the OS. If you think you dont have this issue, compare the rendering of Pr…
I think I've seen what you're talking about, but only on rare occasions. I would open a PDF in Preview and it would be strangely blurry. I would be wondering about the document itself when, as I investigated, I would do something that caused a sudden snap to sharpness. Closing and reopening would not reproduce it, and it happened so rarely and hasn't happened for so long that I forgot about it. I can imagine, though, that if it somehow got stuck in that mode, it would be infuriating.

#13> True Color and hyperlink support in the Terminal app Why? Isn’t iTerm better in every imaginable way? > Markdown support in the Notes app. Including code blocks and syntax highlighting. 1) there’s plenty of good apps (better than Notes.app anyway) that support this already 2) I’d argue we both do, but I’d rather them focus on the important bits (stability/performance/etc) and leave the niche app features to the eco…
I get your point, and somewhat agree, but I think it's important to remember that the two (feature updates to Terminal and Notes vs. stability/performance/etc.) aren't typically mutually exclusive; the developer that would implement Markdown support in Notes isn't likely the same developer that would be implementing performance/stability enhancements to the core of the OS.

#14Can you just include a little checkbox in the mouse settings that lets me reverse mouse scroll independently from the touch pad's two-finger scroll without having to pay for an app?
That'd be swell.

#15I’ll be happy if the only thing that ships with 10.14 is a bugfix for the Preview.app. It amazes me that they have not yet unfucked the PDF rendering with a minor release. It amazes me even more, that this issue is not present on the linked wishlist. Do people not view PDFs on their Macs?
I've never seen that

#16How about an iTunes experience that doesn't make me want to jump off a bridge.
I can't name a single more consistently infuriating piece of software to interact with. It's been horrible as long as it has existed, without fail.
On second thought, perhaps its stalwart consistency as one of the most unusable applications in the history of consumer software is one of the few constants in this fast changing world. Perhaps its flawed nature is meant to remind us all of our own deep imperfections.
God I hate iTunes.

#17> Remove old junk like the Dashboard and DVD Player apps.
Should just include those the app store as well.
Not mentioned are the many years old bugs with multi displays and networking.
I just want Apple to take a year and really fix all the core problems they've introduced. No more new features until the existing stuff works!

#18>Better Window Management
YES! Please add native Snap in MacOS (and native Exposé in Windows).
Re: MacOS 10.14 Wishlist
#19Topping my wishlist would be for Apple to not have to put every product in the same "fashion bauble" category and consider pro, workhorse computers to be a different type of thing with different criteria. Both the Mac Pro and the MacBOOK Pro should be treated as workhorses, not show horses, and optimized for practical usefulness. Less emphasis on looking thinner and more fashionable and more on keyboards that feel great and go on working just fine when splashed with bacon & eggs, thrown in a backpack, dragged around on a desert adventure, lots of convenient connectors, maxed out on battery power, useful buttons instead of gimmicky touchbar, and so on.
My wish would be that actual computer users could look forward with excitement, the way we used to, at what new improvements were about to become available rather than dreading what they'll "courageously" take away next.

#20How about APFS on Fusion drives?
